    No I do not currently volunteer
    I'd also add, the cafe at Haverthwaite is absolutely excellent- they lead (and have done for 7 years or so) our Heritage Railway Scone leaderboard.

    I am surprised that the Dean Forest Railway hasn't been mentioned yet. Lovely line, staffed by some of the friendliest people you'll meet anywhere. Honourable mention to the Tanfield Railway, too. I could happily lose a day out at either.

    Whilst not quite an independent line, the Mountsorrel Branch is a delightful 1.2 mile run from the GCR at Swithland to Nunckley Hill and Mountsorrel. The Heritage Centre at Nunckley Hill has many fascinating attractions and its own narrow gauge railway. The Stephenson Lift Bridge is now operational.
